Abstract excerpt
Experiments were designed to test in Drosophila melanogaster the effect of mating type at the Sod locus on fertility and viability. The experiments show that fertility is neither additive (or multiplicative) nor symmetric, i.e. that the fertility of a mating type cannot be predicted from the average fertility of the two genotypes involved in the mating. There is no significant male x female interaction with...
